About This Group
Please join the Awareness in Action group and share your awareness efforts, photos and videos! Discover new ideas on how to raise awareness for hearing loss, and cochlear implant and Baha technology.Â
Â
Did you know May is Better Hearing and Speech Month? For over 75 years, this month has provided an opportunity to educate and inform others about the importance of good hearing, the social and emotional implications of hearing loss, and the available solutions for those who experience hearing loss. According to the Better Hearing Institute, hearing loss affects more than 31 million Americans—most of whom are below retirement age.  Help to support hearing health and take action to spread the word about hearing loss in your community. We look forward to discovering the activities you have completed in the month of May and throughout the year.
Â
Remember, every moment matters - spread the word today!
